Position summary
The Remeasure Technician goes to the customer's home after a sale is made and verifies every measurement and site condition before the job is released to production. This person is the last check between the designer's sale and the shop's cut list, so their accuracy keeps mis-cuts, remakes and return trips from happening.
This is a good fit for an experienced tradesperson who wants steady, low-pressure work and a flexible pace — using what they know about measuring and building without the heavy lifting of full-time installs.
Department: Operations · Reports to: Operations Manager · Type: Full-time, field-based
Where it fits: Designer sells the job → Remeasure verifies and corrects → Design is finalized → Production cuts and builds → Installer installs.
Key responsibilities
Before the visit
- Review the sold design, contract and designer notes for each job
- Schedule remeasure appointments with customers and confirm the day before
- Plan an efficient daily route across assigned jobs
On site
- Measure every wall, opening, ceiling height and depth in each space
- Check walls and floors for square, level and plumb, and note how far out they are
- Locate and record outlets, switches, vents, windows, doors, attic access and other obstructions
- Note baseboard, crown molding, chair rail and trim that affect fit or need removal
- Confirm wall type and stud locations for mounting
- Verify the access path for delivery and install (stairs, hallways, door widths)
- Photograph each space and any problem areas
After the visit
- Update the 2D drawings with verified measurements in the design software the same day
- Post the updated 2Ds to the job's Teams channel, with the site photos and a short note of exactly what changed on the 2Ds
- Flag any change that affects price, scope or feasibility to the designer before release
- Complete the remeasure checklist for the job file
- Release the verified job to production, or hold it with a clear reason
- Answer production and installer questions about the jobs they remeasured
Quality and improvement
- Track remeasure errors and remakes tied to their jobs and find the root cause
- Share recurring measuring mistakes with designers so they get caught at the sale
- Keep tools calibrated and the company vehicle clean and stocked
